Student Destinations

Many education professionals are achieving career enhancements from the skills and confidence developed by studying our MA programmes. Applicants will usually be offered a discussion with the programme director – this is an opportunity to discuss career aspirations and to select the most suitable pathway to support those aspirations.

Students coming to our full-time MA Education because they aspire to a new career in education, tell us they gain skills and knowledge to demonstrate their commitment and competence as preparation for professional practice, or for policy roles.

Students who are already employed in a professional education role will benefit from choosing one of our applied programmes (MA Education: Policy and Practice; MA Education: Additional Learning Needs; MA Leadership in Education). These programmes are designed to offer professional learning as an opportunity to develop existing practice.
